Attention: All the Young Techies in Bangalore

Here is a shout out to all the techies in the city, who are tired of their boring jobs. While some of you maintain the customary 9-6 work schedule, there are others who slog it out from 11 to 8 in the night, and then there is this section of you techies who follow the startups culture, where you do not have a standard timing to be maintained, nor is there a limit on the number of hours you end up working all through the week. Needless to say, weekend is the only time you guys have for yourself, your families and friends, to unwind and also to socialize and do something worthwhile. It seems like a lot to do in just two days, doesn’t it? Well, truth be told, such is the situation of the so called elite tech people in the city.

So, what is it that you techies do over the weekend after all? Let me take a guess at some of the things most popular among this section of population to do over a weekend.

The pubs and discos of the city promise to add some colour to life, thereby drawing many corporate fellow people to its doorstep.

For those of you who are more comfortable staying put at home, there is the concept of the so called “house parties” that is doing the rounds. Money saver, adds privacy, guarantees comfort of a house, all of this with a high dose of fun, of course.

Marathon reruns of your favourite TV show, that you have already seen an uncountable number of times.

For those of you who are lucky to have your family in or nearby to Bangalore, you may spend your weekends at home.

Don’t be surprised if you find yourself doing one of the above-mentioned thing activities on the weekend. Also, if you think your life has been nothing but boring, then you are in the correct place. Because, we have ideas that are sure to take your weekend life on a different track and for the good. Here is what you can do:

1. Get onto the road

You sure as hell may want to get out and about. After being in front of that lit screen all through the week, a long bike ride would be your gatepass to freedom and some physical activity. Rent a bike in Bangalore from Wheelstreet.com and hit the road. If you thought superbikes are something that you look at in awe in movies, then you are in for a pleasant surprise. You can now get a superbike on rent and feel like the hero sin the movies.

2. Cook

Eating as you know is a necessity but cooking is not only an art but also a life skill. It never hurts to treat yourself to a self-cooked meal. It could be an all-time favourite dish of yours, or something exotic that you have always wanted to try. And if you can team up with a friend, even better. You are increasing your culinary skills, it is fun and you end up with a good meal at the end of it.

3. Walk

Bangalore is known for its gardens and numerous parks. You can find one in almost every area. It would do you all the good in the world, to ditch that phone and take a walk in your nearest park. Spend a good hour or more, amongst the greenery. You will return, feeling fresher than you ever have been.

4. Laze around

You read it right. Laze around and do nothing. Sometimes there is a lot of pleasure in not doing anything at all and everybody is entitled to experiencing this, at least once in their lifetime. So, whatever it is that you were planning on doing, keep it aside and give yourself the much-needed rest before you have to get back to work the next day.
